Protein is a vital macronutrient that supports muscle growth, energy, tissue repair, and overall health. While protein supplements are popular, consuming too much can lead to fat storage, kidney strain, and other health risks.

It’s important to choose complete protein sources that provide balanced nutrition—ranging from animal-based options like lean meats, eggs, and dairy to plant-based options such as lentils, tofu, quinoa, and nuts. Dietary restrictions, lifestyle choices (vegetarian or vegan), and environmental impact also play a role in protein selection. Moderation and balance are key—focus on nutrient-rich protein “packages” to meet your health goals while supporting sustainability.
